Lahore: The spokesman of Defence Housing Authority Lahore Tajammal Hussain Anjum has said the developmental work is going on in full swing in Phase VI and VII.

Talking to media men, he said: "the work on arteries has already started". He said the DHA imported pylons from China to improve the power distribution system, adding that Rs 461.8 million was paid to WAPDA in lieu of grid sharing cost. He said the under construction Commercial Broadway and Expressway will be connected with Phase VI and VII in April 2008. "A sum of Rs 35 million is being spent for construction of a bridge, which is near to completion", he said.

He said the work on Asia's largest golf course would be completed in 2009. He said world renowned Malaysian Company (BRED) was engaged by the DHA for the project. He said 258 villas would be constructed in Phase VIII. "A new mosque will also be constructed to facilitate 600 worshipers", he added.

Cinepax in Pindi looks better than DHA Cinema...

it was auditorium first, was used for dha school functions, then later they converted it into cinema cum auditorium, its pretty nice from inside i must say its not less then international standards from inside.

I was in that school when the principal wid his corruption give that part of land to build auditorium.Now that not good tohave cinema next to school "BACHOOON PE BURA ASR PARE GA" :lol:

:rofl:

Cinepax in Pindi looks better than DHA Cinema...

cinepax is a multiplex, dha cinema is a single screen

I was in that school when the principal wid his corruption give that part of land to build auditorium.Now that not good tohave cinema next to school "BACHOOON PE BURA ASR PARE GA" :lol:

DHA fully owns all these schools and other facilities...

the principal could not give the land to anyone... it was DHA who decided to convert the auditorium in to a cinema... which was very badly needed for entertainment.. the area has been completely seperated from the school by fencing on every side..

I would say....... a very good idea..!!

Options for Punjab’s progress

By Shahid Javed Burki

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii109/traPPed_2008/Punjabsgrowth.jpg?t=1205740441

PUNJAB’S future can be portrayed in terms of several different scenarios for the economy’s growth in the period 2007 to 2020. I will work here with four of them. Which of these will get actually enacted will depend upon public policy choices made by the people who will walk the corridors of power in Islamabad and Lahore in the next few years.

The choices made will cover not only the field of economics but also the areas of politics and foreign affairs. According to the projections made for the four scenarios developed here the provincial GDP would increase at various multiples of the projected increase in population.

1st Senario:

The least ambitious picture sees the province’s GDP increasing at a rate equal to twice the rate of population growth. Punjab’s population increase is expected to decline to about two per cent per annum over the next decade. Therefore, according to this scenario, GDP increases at a rate of only four per cent. (See the table for details.)

There will be an increase in per capita income of two per cent a year which, given the fairly unequal distribution of income, will not have a significant affect on the incidence of poverty .The provincial gross domestic product will grow by 66 per cent in the 13-year period between 2007--2020.

The number of poor will increase to 30 million and poverty will continue to be a major feature of life in the province. Most of the poor will live in the province’s large cities where they will suffer from the absence of several vital public services. While the level of literacy may increase beyond that reached in 2007, the poor will not have the skills required to find productive employment. With such a large concentration of the poor in large urban centres, the province would come under severe social and political stresses and strains.

The only contribution public policy needs to make to achieve this level of growth rate and sustain it over time is to ensure there are no serious disruptions to overall security in the province, that there is a reasonable amount of continuity in public policy, that the quality of education improves somewhat, that some provision is made for improving health care, and that some effort is made to remove the bottlenecks that have appeared in the availability of fiscal infrastructure. This is a business as usual scenario with no significant change in the structure of the economy.

2nd Senario:

Most likely:

The second scenario sees an increase in the provincial GDP equal to three times the rate of growth of population. In other words, provincial output will increase at a rate of six per cent a year, with GDP more than doubling in this period. This is very close to the scenario envisaged in the Punjab Economic Report, 2005. This report, prepared in association with the World Bank was based on the assumption that the economy would go through a significant structural change, particularly in the non-farm sectors. It assumed that the economy would be able to create one million jobs a year, a number large enough to absorb the new entrants in the workforce.

To maintain this level of increase in GDP – “maintain,” since this is the rate at which the provincial output increased in the period 1999-2007 – considerable amount of effort will have to be made in creating a pro-growth environment. The 2005 report made a large number of recommendations aimed at realising this growth rate. These focus in particular on improving the productivity of small and medium enterprises and improving the efficiency of the sector of agriculture.

There will be a much larger role for the private sector in the economy with the state confining its activity to mostly regulating private enterprise and making investments in improving physical and human capital. Public policy will also seek to address the problems created by some pick up in the rate of urbanisation. This scenario seems further increase in the proportion of the urban population living in the province’s major cities, in particular in Lahore and the industrial centres of central Punjab.

3rd Senario:

According to the third scenario, the provincial GDP will increase by eight per cent a year and income per head of the population will grow by six per cent per annum. The size of the provincial GDP will grow by more than two and a half times, increasing from the current $89 billion to $242 billion.

GDP per capita – a better measure of development – will more than double, from less than $1,000 in 2007 to more than $2,000 in 2020.

There will be dramatic effect on the level of poverty, with the proportion of the poor declining to just above eight per cent of the total population to only 10 million.

There will also be a significant change in the distribution of population. By 2020, one half of the 120 million people will live in urban areas. Lahore – counting its suburbs and satellite cities as parts of the city – will have a population of 15 million. It will be one of the world’s mega-cities.

Lahore’s own output could reach $50 billion with the city’s per capita income climbing to $3,300, more than 50 per cent higher than the projected provincial average.

4th Senario:

The fourth and final scenario is the most ambitious one. It sees the economy growing at a rate of 10 per cent a year, five times the rate of increase in population.

This scenario will have the province reach the status of a middle income region with the provincial GDP at $360 billion and the income per capita at $3000.

Public policy will play a greater role in achieving this rate of growth. It will focus, in particular, on four aspects.

The main public policy initiative needed to achieve this rate of growth would be to open the economy to the world outside, in particular to India.

This will have a significant impact on the structure of the economy. The ratio of trade to GDP will increaser significantly and reach 50 per cent. In other words, Punjab alone will earn $180 billion in export earnings, most of it from trade with India.

Under this scenario, Punjab will also become the centre of transit trade, with goods and commodities passing through it to and from India, China, Central Asia and the Middle East.

To take full advantage of the opening to India and with the development of transit trade, the province will undertake a major improvement in its physical infrastructure: an intricate network of highways that will serve the traders in all countries with which Pakistan shares common borders.

The government would aid and encourage the development of the components of the service sector needed for handling trade and human traffic.

Some of the major cities and tourist sides will need to be improved to make them attractive for the Indians and people from the neighbouring countries.

The size of the urban areas will not increase beyond those envisaged under the third scenario.

That notwithstanding, the quality of life in the large cities – and to some extent also in the medium- sized and small cities – will improve with better provision of basic services to the population.

One interesting feature of the four scenarios is that the share of agriculture in GDP increases significantly in the last case. This will be the result of the larger proportion of trade in GDP and greater trade with India and the Middle East of high-value added agricultural products.

The share of modern services in the economy will also increase with a sizeable contribution made by the businesses associated with both international trade and transit trade.

In sum, appropriate set of government policies could turn Punjab into a middle-income province within less than a decade and a half.

Its economic transformation would pull along the rest of Pakistan towards a much higher rate of GDP growth than was the case even in the high growth years of the later part of the period of General Pervez Musharraf.

Governor reviews rehabilitation of poor people

Staff Report

LAHORE: Governor Lt General (r) Khalid Maqbool on Tuesday reviewed the progress of rehabilitation of poor people.

He was also briefed about treatment of deserving patients and issuance of educational scholarships to university students. According to an official handout, he was presiding over a meeting at Governor’s House. He was informed that Pakistan Baitul Maal has so far provided financial assistance to 9,000 deserving people in the Punjab.

He was also informed that scholarships had been issued to 6,000 students of several universities and a grant of Rs 20,000 has been provided to 12,000 skilled persons to start their own businesses.

About 700 patients have been provided with free cardiac operation and treatment facility and free treatment cards have been issued to 15,000 hepatitis patients under the prime minister’s special programme.

The meeting decided that the Pakistan Baitul Mal would arrange a cheque-distribution ceremony in Multan on April 4. About 1,500 deserving people of Multan, Lodhran, Khanewal and Muzaffargarh will be given cheques. The meeting also decided to issue soft-term loans to 900 jobless people of Multan and adjacent districts to buy rickshaws under the President’s Rozgar Scheme.

Separately, an agreement signing ceremony between Hardees Food System Incorporate and MDS Foods was held to set up franchised modern restaurants in Lahore. The governor was the chief guest on the occasion. He lauded the agreement and said that consumerism culture had been promoted in Pakistan in the last few years. He said, “It is a good omen that global taste is being popularised among the people. The government has paid special attention to develop food technology at government universities.”

^^ Isn't it kind of ironic that they're talking about caridac operations and healthcare in the same article as a fast food chain?

Hardees is awesome though, I'd go there the first day it opens in Pakistan (if I'm there).

I read a couple of years ago that China was struggling with an obesity problem with its youth. That was because of two reasons a) rising affluence of Chinese families, so they're eating less traditional food and more junk food and b) Since all kids there are an only child, their parents like to spoil them with things, food included.

This shows that as countries get richer, the nations waistline expands ;)

I believe the Greeks who made their slaves do all the work and sat on their asses philosophising all day weren't exactly anorexic.

LAHORE: The Pakistan railways authorities have shelved the building of multipurpose passenger hall and Lahore Railway Station remodeling project with the end of the tenure of former Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmed and all the construction work has halted just after the last day of former minister.

The railways minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on November 14, 2007 unveil the plaque for the construction of multipurpose passenger hall at Lahore Railway station and it was the planned that passengers would be facilitated through provision of this hall as it would have an air-conditioned waiting room as well as current and advance booking facility here. It was planned that the railway advance booking office would be shifted to this multipurpose passenger hall so that passengers could avail the facility of current and advance booking at a single roof and their botherations could be reduced. But after passing of more than three months, the construction work there has been stopped and decision makers have stopped thinking about the project as there is no chance of the former minister's return to the slot.

The sorry side of the issue is that the foundation work and even 30 per cent building pillars work has been completed and a handsome amount has already been spent. Moreover, now with rise in the construction material and other cost, the estimated amount has shot up to three times of the previous estimates.

It is also notable here that the work on the project was initiated almost one month prior to the plaque formal unveil and the basic design of the hall was changed several times and a huge amount was paid to the architects. The sources at the Divisional Superintendent Office Lahore told The Post that there are no chances of start of work at the project unless new railway minister takes charge of railways ministry as the railway high ups were reluctant to carry on the projects envisaged by the former railway minister Sh Rashid. Here it is also worthy to mention that the Pakistan Railways (PR) also planned to renovate the Lahore Railway Station built during the British Raj in the 19th century while keeping its original structure intact. During the course of renovation, PR authorities shut down the antique ventilators of the station because the rainwater poured in from them and accumulated on the platforms. A flower shop at the Lahore Railway Station was also set up besides doing other renovation works. It was also under consideration to remodel all roads leading to Lahore Railway Station to streamline the flow of traffic and restore Lahore Railway station beauty besides providing clear roads facility to the passengers.

When The Post contacted the Divisional Superintendent Lahore Abdul Jabbar to get clear picture of the scene, he said that the project was stopped owing to some changes in the basic design of the multipurpose passenger hall which was the part of the project of remodeling the Lahore Railway Station building and surrounding roads. In reply to the question that it was the impression that the project has been dropped as it was being under taken under the desires and vision of former Federal Railways Minister, he said that the project has not been dropped and as he had assumed charge of the post recently he had not detailed information about it. He however, said that the project would be restarted very soon.

Spinneys expands into Pakistan with Bahria Town

http://www.lahorerealestate.com/ads/public/img-1206424365.jpg

Spinneys, the premier supermarket retailer in the MENASA region, announced today that it has signed an agreement with Bahria Town, Asia's largest private-sector urban developer, to open three hypermarket and supermarket outlets in Pakistan.

The first Spinneys outlet in Pakistan, located at the Mall of Lahore in Park Lane Tower, will open later this year. Construction of additional hypermarkets will commence immediately in other major cities in the country.

Spinneys is in the midst of an unprecedented regional expansion drive, which will see the retailer expand operations in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA) region with confirmed projects in Jordan, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Syria. Currently, Spinneys operates stores in Egypt and Lebanon, and through a franchise agreement in the UAE.

The Chairman of Bahria Town, Malik Riaz Hussain, added that the agreement will lead to the development of some of the most successful retail outlets in Pakistan. "Here at Bahria Town, we are committed to introducing to our customers the latest trends and the strongest value propositions. We are confident that this agreement with Spinneys will provide exactly this kind of quality shopping experience for the people of Pakistan. “Not only are we investing in the expansion of new retail outlets in the country,” he said, “we are also investing in the future of the country itself, through the creation of new employment opportunities. On behalf of all of us at Bahria Town, I am extremely pleased to announce this significant agreement with Spinneys.”

Pakistan is amongst the largest consumer markets in the MENASA region and, according to Spinneys, a key pillar of its larger expansion drive. “Spinneys is one of the most respected supermarket brands in the region,” said Michael Wright, Chief Executive Officer, Spinneys, “and this agreement with Bahria Town allows us to introduce our unique blend of range, quality and service to the discerning customer of urban Pakistan. This is a landmark moment in the more than 80-year history of Spinneys. Bahria Town is a truly international real estate firm, with unmatched experience in Pakistan and global best practice capabilities,” he added. “Their delivery of first rate real estate developments will enable Spinneys to provide the quality shopping experience that our customers expect.”

^^ What are those things in the glass bowl? Never heard of spinneys, but seems to be a high quality supermarket.

Lahore: The work on Lahore Zoo master plan has been delayed for reasons best known to the authorities.

The Lahore Zoo is blaming the Punjab building department for the delay and vice versa.

Director Lahore Zoo Mr Yousaf Paal,said that he was perturbed over the poor performance of the building department. "The building department is delaying work on the project on one pretext or the other", he said.

He said that he wrote many letters to the building department but to no avail. He said that about 5.01 million was approved by the Finance Department Punjab in July 2007 and the money was supposed to be used till June 2008.

Despite the repeated meetings of the high-ups there were no satisfactory decision taken for completing the master plan in the stipulated time period, said an official on the condition of anonymity.

The Building Department Punjab official Mohsen Shakoor said he was not given a copy of the revised design of the master plan therefore it was not possible for him to give the date of completion of the project. He said the total cost was still under consideration

Giving details the master plan, Director Lahore Zoo said the entrance gate, ticket booth, lion house, bear house, water fowl area, parking, office building, monkey house would be refurbished.

The provision of other facilities, included in the plan ,are walk through in aviary and chimpanzee island, new parking, nocturnal castle, new cafeteria block, leopards house, aquarium, aviary, jungle cage (hill), play land and crocodile pond ..

do you have any updates on that hotel which was being made oppersite firdos market on mm alam road, its on the right when you come down from the 7up bridge.

LAHORE: Rescue 1122 is expanding as well as modernizing its fleet at a cost of Rs two billion in the province.

Director General Punjab Emergency Service Dr Rizwan Naseer said the Rescue 1122 staff was given training at par with the international standard in order to enable them to conduct life-saving operations during natural disasters and catastrophes.

"We are imparting sophisticated modern training to the rescue teams that will enable them to render services to people in other countries as well," he said.

Lahore: Started over two years ago, the Ferozepur Road pilot project which comprised of computerized signal network and separate lanes for all kinds of transport, is still in doldrums.


This project was launched by the then CM of Punjab, Ch Pervaiz Elahi and it primarily aimed to minimize traffic pressure on all the adjoining roads especially the Canal Road, Wahdat Road, Jail Road, Main Boulevard Gulberg and Jail Road.

All the concerned agencies were ordered to initiate the project under the supervision of Planning and Development Department. However, despite the lapse of two years, all the concerned departments have failed to implement the project. The traffic problems continue to increase as the commuters struggle to make their ways in the ever increasing flow of traffic.

Yes the construction on this tower was very fast.It is tallest in the whole area around it.

Does anyone know anythings about this building .

I have been taking pix of this tower for some time but the project has name is really a mystery.

List of plazas being finalised | Officials directed to serve notices to violators


LAHORE: The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has started a crackdown against illegal constructions of commercial plazas in residential areas of the provincial metropolis.

In the first phase of the campaign, the officials of the Lahore Development Authority have been ordered to prepare a list of illegal buildings and plazas and submit a report in this regard before the higher authorities. The authorities concerned also directed the officials to issue notices to the owners of such buildings under the bylaws.

An Lahore Development Authority official concerned told The Post that action would be taken against the violators according to the laws while their buildings and plazas would be sealed before demolition.

He said initially the officials of the Lahore Development Authority had sealed a few private buildings and stopped construction works of several plazas located in the residential areas. It is pertinent to mention here that the crackdown against illegal buildings was ordered by the Director General Lahore Development Authority Muhammad Arif Khan, who during a visit of the town to review development work announced his decision to make Lahore a model city.

the building is flawless its a magnificent office tower,

Lahore: District Nazim Mian Amer Mahmood has ordered to speed up all the projects included in the annual development plan of LDA and ensure their completion within the estimated time, it was learnt.

He was presiding over a meeting in which he was briefed about various development projects. It was revealed that the construction of boundary wall of Jubilee Town and three main gates was moving ahead efficiently and would be completed within 2 months. This is being done primarily to improve the security of the residents.

The District Nazim also said that quality should not be compromised in all the development projects going on in the city, it was learnt.

Lahore: The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has launched two new housing schemes on the outlines of Defence Housing Authority (DHA), it was learnt.

LDA Director General Arif Khan said that the new housing schemes would be known by LDA Avenue 2 and LDA Avenue 3. They would be situated at Raiwind Road and Ferozepur Road respectively. The DG was attending a press conference here on Saturday.

He also said that the owners of the land would be compensated by allotment of plots instead of paying cash. The details would be finalized after consultation with the government, the DG said.

The new schemes would spread over 225,000 kanals of land comprising of 3 marlas, 10 marlas and one kanal residential plots. LDA Avenue 3 would be one of the biggest ever housing schemes developed by the government spanning over 2,000,000 kanals, it was learnt.

:nuts::nuts::nuts:

ferozpur road was built by shabaz shirif :nuts: is that why it has been their since pakistan was made :lol::lol::lol:
what i am talking about is the upgradation and widing of ferozpur road, cos it was a complete mess and this project was undertaken by shabaz shirifs baap CHOUDARY PERVEIZ ELAHI:lol:

and for your information, heres a meaning of revoltionary

Revolutionary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A revolutionary, when used as a noun, is a person who either advocates or actively engages in some kind of revolution. The term is usually applied to political revolutionaries or social revolutionaries, and less frequently used to revolutionary scientists, inventors, and artists.

now do you understand what is means :lol:

feroz pur road was built in the revolutionary era of SHAHBAZ SHARIF:lol:(ab pakboy ko aag lag jaye ge).Now he is back wid a bang now we will see the many new and good project for lahore and punjab Hope he will also built multan road.

Other than Jail Road and canal-road/ferozpur-road underpass, can you name even one other infrastructure built during that time.

He was a decent guy but his idiot older brother's mad economic policies left his govt with no money to undertake any other significant projects. He did try to streamline punjab govt though, but it was again Mushi's govt that really revamped the whole british-era system.

Motorway, Up-gradation of Anarkali, Lahore Airport, F9 park in ISB, PC Burban in 1991 and list goes on and on:)

Motorway, Up-gradation of Anarkali, Lahore Airport, F9 park in ISB, PC Burban in 1991 and list goes on and on:)

I was talking about local punjab government projects so motorway doesn't count.

Airport - its construction started and completed exclusively under Mushi regime, I am not so sure about approval though, that could have been under Shariff rule but lets be clear about that: that project had been on the table for a long time so I dont think you should be crediting it to Shariffs. I could be wrong about it though

Anarkali - That was Kamran Lashari NOT Shariffs, he was the one who cleaned up Anarkali market and set up the food street. Besides this was no MAJOR project, it was a local city govt undertaking (and if my memory serves me right it was done in late 99/00 which would put it under Mushi rule NOT Shariff rule)

F9 park - they are building it now, as far as I know there use to be a shitty wild "park" there before that, I have no idea what "project" you are talking about

PC Bhurban - WTF, how do you credit that to Shariffs

anything else on the list that "goes on and on".

yeah i can name

main boulevard gulberg was revamped....

den one revolutionary step i would say is building up of PHA by merging lda and mcl... look wat brekthriughs it achieved in just a year till 99.. wen martial law was imposed kamran lashari was removed from services... den onwards i hav'nt seen any major creativity from pha... watever pha did in shabaz sharrif era it is only maintaining dose things... set aside beautifying the whole Lahore which should have been done...

A 150 billion rupee underground metro project is about to be launched at Lahore, Karachi is galloping under Mustafa Kamal whereas Lashari is taking Islamabad to new heights. Just wait and see attractive Pakistan for world tourism.

What's more, the chick on front left is freaking hot!

EFU house is a very nicely built building... hosting MCB, WARID, CITI BANK & Ovex tecnologies....

^^ Nice pics! Both buildings look great. Especially the EFU house. I just love its design. Nice and modern.

I actually like the building next to the EFU better. It doesn't look fugly like the usual Pakitani urban buildings. It has a unique design and does not have stained egg-white color.

Having lived in Pakistan for a long time, I abolutely hate buildings in white. And cars too.

gulzar underpass cost only 40 lack ruppees i dont know what billions they are talking about

no it hasnt been stoped by CJ, they are still waiting fro the new design of the flyover, and there is also a stay order from toyota ravi cause there half of the office building needs to be demolished

^^ yes that what the main reason behind this and i had also heard that there is hospital at thokar chowk which is also trying to stop this project it building is also in the way of flyover.

no it hasnt been stoped by CJ, they are still waiting fro the new design of the flyover, and there is also a stay order from toyota ravi cause there half of the office building needs to be demolished

bullshit excuses by ex-cj i bet you. before the case was about a hospital but later when the cj found out that the hospital is actully no where near the flyover he brought out a new case for the showroom., what a jerk.

Alright lets stick to just the progress part :yes:

oh okay, thanks a lot for your update. Hope the new government does something about it. First of all they have to get their act together.

LAHORE: District Nazim Mian Amir Mehmood has called an urgent meeting of all the heads of the departments of City District Government Lahore (CDGL) on Sunday for reviewing the progress of ongoing projects in the city.

hey guys, do you think ban on trucks on the road during morning hours effects the various contruction projects and/or commerce we have going on in the city??

and also i was wondering because we have all these projects going on at the same time, is it effecting flow and availability of raw materials and thus slowing everything down? i am wondering what you guys think about those.

Brightside,

C&W secretary for completion of Thokar Niaz Baig Flyover

Staff Reporter

LAHORE: Punjab Communication & Works Secretary Jalal Sikandar Sultan has said that in order to complete the project of Thokar Niaz Baig Flyover, demarcation has been made on the orders of the court after getting possession of 19 kanal governments and eight kanal private land. According to a press statement issued here Monday, the secretary said that this project was neglected by the previous government which increased the cost of project. He said the departmental action would be taken against those government officials who involved in grabbing of the government land.

He said the project worth Rs 706 million, had to be completed in March 2007 but as the contract was given before acquiring the land therefore now Rs 123 million would further be spent due to delay. Jalal Sikandar said the contractor had refused to complete the project and in case of its re-tendering the cost of this project would increased to Rs 839 million. He said that the flyover project started from the Canal View Housing Society to Shahpur Interchange. The secretary said that some parts of seven petrol pumps and two restaurants had been demolished on the other day. He said that efforts were being made that only the present contractor should complete this project so that the government had not to bear the additional cost.

well it really proves now that it was the cheap justice trying to block all projects and that ravi motors and the hospital was just an excuse.

Rs2.7bn plan to improve wildlife park



LAHORE, April 30: A Singapore based company has prepared the design of the Lahore Wildlife Park which will cost Rs2.7 billion, sources in the Punjab Wildlife Department reveal to Dawn.

Sources say the Punjab government has paid Rs10 million for the preparation of a feasibility report of the design to the Bernard Harrison and Friends.

They said the report had been prepared to conserve the nature, hold scientific research and educate public on wildlife.

The park is located on 240 acres, has two safaris -- lion and tiger -- and a bird aviary with over 500 birds.

The design includes a parking plaza, with a capacity to accommodate 2,000 cars, which will be built at the main entrance of the park. A 150-seat restaurant will also be built by the plaza. A night trail of animal enclosures with lighting will be made along the restaurant. The enclosures will be of Asiatic fishing cats, Asiatic small clawed otters, golden jackals, hyenas, eagles and owls.

The department will launch a tram ride and build two tram stations at the main entrance.

The park includes two zones -- African and South Asian zones and the rubberwheeled tram will get across the zones. Along with camel and horse safaris, the African zone will display 72 species of animals, numbering 1,120 animals. The animals will be giraffe, zebra, hyena, hippo, African cheetah, leopard, ostrich and African wild dog. A boat ride in wetland area of the park will also be available.

The South Asian zone will house 88 species of animals, numbering 1,575 animals. Among those animals will be Urial, monkey, hog deer, wild boar, rhino, chinkara gazelle, blue bull, Indian star tortoise, Asiatic wolf, cheer pheasant, pheasant, leopard, snake and butterfly.

A children’s park there will offer animal rides to children. The children’s park will also have a zoo wherein rabbits snakes, parrots, goats turtles and lizards will be caged. The other features of the park include a miniature train ride, swings, a water play area and a maze.

The Wildlife Park will have themed gardens having cactus, rose and palm and orchards.

A plan includes a surgical wing for animals, a postmortem section, a quarantine facility and wards.

Lahore Wildlife Park Director Shafqat Ali said the report had been sent to related departments and wildlife experts for their comments. He said the concept, however, had been approved by the last government in March last. Mr Ali said the report would be sent to the chief minister for approval after getting approved from concerned departments.

It is because, every other time you start some political discussion/bashing in a development thread. If politics is your obsession, you're in the wrong forums dude.

Musharraf shouldn't have taken credit for anything in the first place! who the hell is he afterall? He not our representative. Nobody voted him in.

where the HELL is Lahore ring road? It startd some 3 years ago, inaugrated by our very own komando king! so wtf happened to it?
if these chaudhries had an iota of self respect, they would have committed suicide long ago.

DIE DIE!!!! alll these Gujrati Chaudhries

chaudhries and mian amer mehmood can go to HELL!

progress in Lahore=ZILCH!

I think it is a good reason, if its Lahore, and chaudhries in power, nothing can get build. you can see what infrastructure improvements have happened in last 8 years! ZILCH!

TOTALLY,TOTALLY, TOTALLY agree with you Huma..... all Lahore is becoming in year 2007 is a BIG....HUGE, new millennium PIND! there is absoloutely ****ing nothing! and I repeat NOTHING of substance in the city under construction......
all you see is khota rehri... lots of lots of them! EVERWHERE!
God bless the goddamned chaudhries and ther dumb, idiot, illiterate following.
These illiterate chaudhries ruling the land, fake people, fake promises, plethora of lies, pathetic performance, ugly greed, khota rehri on site everywhere.

Maybe about time you look at your posts and the forums you are posting them. And please save me the "creating awareness" crap as a reply. This is not an awareness-creating forums but a skyscrapers and urbanity forum in case you have been wondering all along. You want to create awareness, write to newspapers or join some politics forums. Kindly refrain yourself to the topic at hand especially in development threads. They've got nothing to do with your political bashing.

We had many political threads before but you choose to bring in your politics in threads related to projects as all these quotes are from development threads...Now you know exactly why your profile has so many infractions and why you are on the edge now.

for heaven's sake! can pervez Elahi do something Awesome? absoloutely NOTHING happened in his tenure. I wish them death! paindo mofos!

perveiz elahi brought rapid urbanization in the the city you call lahore, and you call him paindu :bash: paindu was the whole city of lahore before he took over and changed it, paindu was the ganja association who took lahore down, please check your facts up next time before commenting, :cheers:

I am only a patriotic Pakistani! I am a pro-development person..... when I see where the country is heading, when I see the gross mis-conduct and why are we lagging so far behind rest of the nations of our size and calibre it drives me insane! It turns my mind to the very important 'WHY' and people behind it, the root cause! I know a developmental thread isnt the best place to discuss what is the root cause of no development but hey! these issues are so linked to each other! you cant help thinking about them once you are frustrated!
I will post a couple of pictures in ' Unusual or unique fav. pics from Pakistan'

Look at them for a few minutes and think. If you dont get frustrated, you dont have a heart.










It is because, every other time you start some political discussion/bashing in a development thread. If politics is your obsession, you're in the wrong forums dude.
















Maybe about time you look at your posts and the forums you are posting them. And please save me the "creating awareness" crap as a reply. This is not an awareness-creating forums but a skyscrapers and urbanity forum in case you have been wondering all along. You want to create awareness, write to newspapers or join some politics forums. Kindly refrain yourself to the topic at hand especially in development threads. They've got nothing to do with your political bashing.

We had many political threads before but you choose to bring in your politics in threads related to projects as all these quotes are from development threads...Now you know exactly why your profile has so many infractions and why you are on the edge now.

^^ its immaterial with reference to this forum. Perhaps you don't hate our politicians as much as I do and perhaps you don't feel for the people as much as I do...but there's a time and place for everything.

Nobody's stopping anyone from his opinion or raising his voice...but why on earth would you choose a skyscraper forum for your political rants? Aren't there political forums out there dedicated to this discussion? And perhaps if anyone has such patriotism he/she should go do something to help the country and the people. If you want to create awareness send your posts in some newspaper. If you like political discussion join a political forum.

I am not sure why you quoted me. I am not asking anyone to start thinking my way....neither am I affirming or negating anyones views here. But this is NOT a general discussion forums. One should think and respect what opinions one is posting and where. If someone has interest in politics, there is no rule against joining multiple forums. Nobody will or should stop you. But its inappropriate to start derailing threads with one's opinions that are not related to the topic at hand.

MM Alam Road repairs: Police announces alternate traffic plan from May 7

* Official says extra police will be deployed at Mini Market, Hussain Chowk to help citizens
* Plan says road will be widened to 80 feet, will have two lanes

Staff Report

LAHORE: City traffic police have announced an alternate traffic plan for the MM Alam Road, since the road will remain close for traffic from May 7 for repair work, an official press statement said on Sunday.

The statement said that the deteriorating condition of the MM Alam Road created hurdles in the flow of traffic, especially during rainy season, and had resulted in accidents.

A traffic police spokesman said that that the government had decided to start repairing the road from Wednesday (May 7) and that a traffic diversion plan had been devised. A better sewerage system would also be developed alongside the road, he added.

According to the diversion plan mentioned in the statement, people who need to reach schools, colleges and offices situated on the western side of Hussain Chowk will need to use Sir Syed Road or Main Boulevard. If people have to reach the eastern side of Hussain Chowk they will need to use Noor Jahan Road Ali Garh Chowk and Sir Syed Chowk, and other link roads to reach Guru Mangat Road. They can also reach Guru Mangat Road via Mini Market.

Those who have to reach the eastern side of MM Alam Road can use Guru Mangat Road, or a link road towards Noor Jahan Road from Ghalib Market. To reach the western side of Hussain Chowk, Ali Garh Chowk and Sir Syed Chowk can be used.

Extra traffic police: The traffic police official said that a superintendent of traffic police, two inspectors and 56 traffic wardens would be deployed at Mini Market and Hussain Chowk to maintain the flow of traffic. People can call the traffic police on two help lines (042 9201910, 9213183) in an emergency and for information.

Plan: MM Alam Road will be widened to 80 feet and will have tow lanes. Each lane will be 30 feet wide and three-feet-wide greenbelts will separate the two. Thirteen-metre-high streetlights will be installed at 40-metre intervals. The project will cost Rs 133 million. The administration have also planned to move the high-tension electricity supply lines underground and reduce the number of transformers on the road from 45 to 11. These transformers will be installed away from the main road. The Water and Sanitation Authority official will replace sewerage pipes alongside the road to establish a better sewerage system.

nice, now lets start shoving those pesky wires underground. the entire city looks like an aftermath of Basant without the gudiyan. Lahore's Mughal architechture can really shine without those ugly wires casting a shadow on everything.

Well, Mushi gets credit for Gwadar, but I think the actual idea pre-dates him. I'm not sure, but I think it was BB who came up with it?

...and, as we know, its all about deal execution (by way of example, see number of feasability studies conducted on Mass Transit Systems over the past two decades).

doesnt matter who takes credit for it...

JUST BUILD THE DAMN THING.....!! PLEASE......!! and that too VERY SOON!!!

i care a damn if Nelson Mendella takes credit for it.... let us have this thing to be used in our life time...!!

What??? Did I read that correctly?! :shocked: :eek:

I am equally surprised! three cheers!

Don’t get surprised. It’s just a plan n i wish that they don’t move electricity line underground coz then they’ll be digging roads daily to fix wires as with telephone line or sewerages.:ohno:

That happens in Lahore too!

Plans for Gwadar port date all the way back to Ayub era in the 60s, it was re-envisioned multiple times later on (I think in ZAB, Zia and NS era) so thats why you have all these stooges (particularly NS) trying to claim Gwadar port as their own pet project. In reality, it was really the Chinese who got it done, if it wasn't for Chinese pressure (and their financing), I doubt it would have even been realized under Musharraf era.

i care a damn if Nelson Mendella takes credit for it.... let us have this thing to be used in our life time...!!

Yes Shahbaz Sharifs govt. in Punjab will be gone and then our Nelson Mendela Asif Ali Zardari will take credit for it :crazy:

Lahore: The fate of the under construction road and the flyover in front of Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore hangs in balance for the past one and a half years, it was learnt.


The project, originally started in June 2006, was estimated to be completed in November 2007, but at the moment, the construction work at the site is stopped and commuters are facing great problems besides bearing a lot of dust and debris.

According to an engineer of the construction company J & K said that there were three main reasons for stoppage of work. Firstly, the government had failed to clear the land in village Dehrh Pindi, which was passing through the road being constructed. Secondly, the steel and cement prices had soared beyond expectations and they were seeking approval for increase in cost of the project from the government. Thirdly, the underpass to be constructed in front of Allama Iqbal Airport was also a hindrance. He said the project was not stopped, but it was moving ahead slowly and would take another year to be complete.

This is Lahore's first ever road traffic fly-over and you think it wasnt necessary? I think Lahore needs atleast 10 of those. The only fly-overs in Lahore are railway bridges.

its definatly needed, another underpass is also needed in the same area.

You're telling me that Lahore only got its 1st flyover just now in mid 2008??? The same time as Hyderabad?! Thats DISGRACEFUL!!! :no: Lahore is way more important than Hyderabad.

lahore has had flyovers for years. What about the flyover near fortress and the one that leads from gulberg to defense. I dont know the exact names.

I very clearly said 'first road traffic flyover'. Thats right Trappy, sad truth. 8 Million people and first road traffic flyover. I dont whine without a reason but then MODs warn me of being negative!
All existing flyovers in Lahore are over raliway tracks NOT just roads. And this one is still under-construction

Yeah, thats what I was gonna say. The flyovers of Fortress and gulberg are over railway tracks.

Bridge =/= flyover

Thats SAD! :no:

Can anyone tell me how many Pakistani cities ACTUALLY HAVE road traffic flyovers and underpasses??? And how many in each city??? I would really appreciate it!

i was meant to say that thokar flyover is not so necessary coz we need flyover in many other places of the city to ease traffice there i personelly never had seen any traffic jam at thokar.we need flyovers at yateem kahan chowk,bhekewal morr.muslim town morr.icchara morr ,mozang etc in these places daily there is a traffic jam for 5 to 6 hours.


what i think of this thokar flyover is that it is only for those who are coming from ISL .now after the cpmpletion of this project they will not had to stop at thokar they ease into canal road.

BY the way work on canal road from thokar to baharia town is also going on wid full pace..

yes that road i think was privatized as malik riaz wanted to buy it, the name should change to shahriah-e-bahria and work which has been going since ages has speeded up.

an intersection upgrade is needed at thokar, flyover was neccesary and i belive they should build another one going to samnabad or end of allama iqbal town. maybe an underpass is well connecting the canal road togeher,

long ago malik riaz had said to the gov to give the tender of thokar to baharia town canal road to me i will built it in 1 month.


and i am sure he would had built it in 1 month if gov had allowed him to do so.

well ppl just to correct you all... we have a fly over on ravi road... the one which is serving the RING ROAD.... the one which is built on BATI CHOWK....

thats what they named that place.... so its the second one....

great update again, wow never knew gadafi is gona get a expansion any details about it and render.

Why doesn't Lahore have any underpasses, flyovers etc etc in comparison to Karachi???

^^What are you on about?? Lahore has many more underpasses than Karachi.

^^What are you on about?? Lahore has many more underpasses than Karachi.

Then why don't people answer this question of mine: :?


Thats SAD! :no:

Can anyone tell me how many Pakistani cities ACTUALLY HAVE road traffic flyovers and underpasses??? And how many in each city??? I would really appreciate it!

People here are making it seem as if Lahore has nothing compared to Karachi. Thats the vibe that I'm getting!

lahore has many underpasses, dharmapura i think is the longest in pakistan.

^^ Thanks. But I would like to see hard data. Like the total numbers of underpasses, flyovers etc etc in the cities. Particularly Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

There is honestly not much to write about Lahore, there are some 6 odd underpasses in Lahore and all of them are on the same 'Canal Road' (a couple of them are the size of a big bathroom)
I dont know about Islamabad, but they have recently made quite a few underpasses and some flyovers are under-construction too.

nazimabad underpass are the longest one i think just guess but karachi have good flyovers but underpasses are not such of good qualities

THANKS guys for the info! :happy: :cheer:

Why do canal underpasses alternate between left and right? Can anyone tell me that?

Why do canal underpasses alternate between left and right? Can anyone tell me that?

The underpass on the left are the ones built by nawaz govt back in 90's. The right ones are da product of chaudhries. The chaudries did the right thing by building them on the right side because it greatly reduces the risk of accidents as opposed to the former ones.

Our fast lane is on right side so when they change their lanes to left to enter the nawaz built underpasses they create havoc for the slow movers and the ones who don't wana use underpass. So, technically chaudries have been vigilant.

^^ agree but canal underpasses are good enough as they are covering main areas of traffic like Jail road , Mall Road etc
Sad but I’ve never seen any development on Multan road. It’s amongst the busiest roads of Lahore but really poor.

some lovly pictures of lahore from the sky in sukh chayn gardens broushure, you can also see pictures of the lovly sukh chayn estate and the ring road intersection.

Multan road project is also underway.It got many phases like First of all now a days gov is installing sewarage system along side of multan road.Its a long project and will be completed in 2 to 3 years.

CDGL officials accuse agency of being lethargic | TEPA seems overburdened by additional work


LAHORE: The Traffic Engineering and Planning Agency (TEPA) seems to have failed to meet the targets set by the City District Government Lahore (CDGL) for it regarding the planning of roads construction projects, The Post learnt on Monday.

An official of the Punjab Road Department, Ahmed Usman, disclosed that the CDGL authorities has handed over some 32 major roads of the city to TEPA for remodelling with certain developments including the planning and construction of Ferozpur Road, Canal Bank Road Remodelling Project, Lower Mall, The Mall, Multan Road, Lynton Road, Nabha Road, Lake Road and Jail Road as well but the agency could not accomplish the task despite spending reasonable time and money. Earlier, the City District Government was responsible for the planning and construction of roads. He said that the Department earlier was responsible for looking after more than hundred roads including 32 major roads of the city before the establishment of new district government system.

District Officer Road Department Syed Riaz Shah alleged that despite assigning the construction of very important roads of the city to TEPA, the road department have to complete some projects out of which some were handed over to TEPA with the special funds allocated by the provincial government while TEPA remained lethargic and could not complete the planning of such roads for construction.
